Rampage Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Derby County fans must have seen millions of Rams games between them. As we are in that short period between playing seasons when there are no games, here is a chance to reminisce about some players and games that were specially significant to you..Some suggestions :- 1. Most memorable goal, game or away trip involving the Rams 2. Most memorable player and performance by a player that you witnessed at a game 3. Most bizarre event at a Rams match that you attended. In short, an opportunity to entertain us with your memories until the Pre Season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BathRam72 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 One of my greatest memories was watching the game against Plymouth at the end of the 1986/87 season beating them 4 - 2 to secure the second division championship. Arthur Cox was manager. Grown men behind me crying at the end and boy what an atmosphere. Booby Davidson at his best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Most bizarre event - half time during Derby v Finn Harps. A lttle old guy said to me "What's the score, me owd?" I replied "Nine nil." He said "B**ger me. I've just been for a crap and missed five goals." Bizarre that anyone ever went for a crap in the popside bogs and a) There was bogroll and b) He survived.

loweman2 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 1 Bobbys first goal in this amazing game !! best day (and night) in my time supporting the Rams ! 2 oooh are robin van der laan, another one of the few legends of the past thirty years, was a good captain and this was my second best day (and night) being a Ram. 3 just how did we get away with it ?? !! one of the most bizzare incidents at a game of football ever !!

BathRam72 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 If my memory serves me we were behind in that game and rumour spread among the crowd of another score line which helped us. This then filtered to the pitch and off they went on a scoring spree. I stand to be corrected (getting old now) Great day out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like cheering a goal. Within minutes we were playing like champions and scoring for fun. Bobby and Callys goals that day are 2 of my favourites ever. Seen some other great games and goals but I'm gutted forever I didn't go to Old Trafford in 97 to see us humiliate ManU. And to see THAT goal. And I don't mean Ashley Ward's mishit volley into the turf that looped over owd Schmeicel. Although it was a beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS1997 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 In my lifetime.. 1. Pearson at Wembley 06/07 easily 2. Because of only being born in '97 can't really look past Bryson hat-trick against Forest 3. The whole of the 07/08 season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As special as Wanchope's goal was, Sturridge's goal is my favourite that day. Not sure if it is for the comedic value or because it was at the end we were sat. At the time Wanchope's just didn't sink in where he picked up the ball and how far he had gone and how many players he went past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to meet Sir Bobby Robson the morning of the game, what a day!!! Away trip & game go hand in hand as it was the West Brom play off final. I lost my voice by the final whistle and could only sooth it by drinking even more beer. 2 - Igor against Man U at the BBQ. He marked Cantona out the game that night, he literally got 5 touches the whole 90 minutes. By far Igor's best game in a Rams shirt 3 - Probably the lights going out during the first ever Pride Park game. Good job it was still 20-odd degrees or the stroll back into town would've been very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Eric was topping everyones Kronenburg judging by the current adverts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was meeting Sir Bobby at an awards ceremony in Chad (how bizarre is that statement) if so I didn't realise it was the same day as that Everton game and that goal!!!

ram59 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 No3, most bizarre event. I'm sure I can remember in the third division days, John Gregory getting fouled on the touchline right next to the dugout, his reaction was to pick up the trainers bucket of water and chuck it over the culprit! Gregory got the booking. Does anyone else remember this, or is it a figment of my imagination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WystonRam Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 1. Most memorable goal, game or away trip involving the Rams For me seeing Bryson score at the trees and a win, my one and only time I have seen us win there. 2. Most memorable player and performance by a player that you witnessed at a game Peter Shilton keeping Newcastle at bay in the late 80's ,0-0 and it could have been 6 or 7 to Newcastle. The entire main stand stayed to clap him off the pitch-amazing performance. Newcastle's ground was being redeveloped then so we only got 1500 tickets. 3. Most bizarre event at a Rams match that you attended Newport away new years day 1985(?), game abandoned after 42 minutes after absolutely torrential rain, it probably should never have gone ahead. The away end was pretty much flooded ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goddards goal against Everton after meting Sir Bobby at a Bingo Hall in Chad. Or Robin Van Der Laan's goal against Palace and the final whistle blowing. 2. Any game Francesco Baiano played in, a true football genius 3. I forget the game but Robert Maxwell walking round the pitch and coming over to the key club, where he got a load of abuse from hundreds of Kids (including myself) and someone trying to hit him with an inflatable pink panther !
